Bestselling iPhone Metronome App Gains Dedicated iPad Interface

[prMac.com] Singapore - Frozen Ape today is pleased to announce that with the latest 2.0 update, Tempo, the bestselling iOS metronome app, is now a universal iOS app with a dedicated iPad interface. Similar offerings from other developers load up natively on iPad devices, but the interfaces are merely blown-up variants of their iPhone versions. The controls and layout for Tempo have been adapted to take advantage of the bigger screen. In particular, a dial has been added to separate tempo adjustment from the tempo display. The setlist is also shown side by side with preset and beat pattern controls, whereas the small display of the iPhone required a manual toggle between the two.

"We were not sure if users wanted a tablet-sized metronome, but repeated requests from enthusiastic customers convinced us that there is a sizeable portion of our user base who regularly run Tempo on their iPads," commented Zen Ho of Frozen Ape. "We could have gone the easy route and grafted the existing iPhone design over, but instead chose to take some time to do it right. We're still exploring how users really want to use all that extra screen real estate, and welcome feedback on this first iteration."

Tempo was featured by Apple in March 2009 as New and Noteworthy on the frontpage of the App Store and has been the most popular paid metronome app for iOS ever since. It is used daily worldwide by thousands of musicians, music teachers and even golfers to time their swings.

Key App Features
